Yesterday was Christmas, but today was the day when I got all kinds of new yarn! Critter Bug and I went out today to hit the sales (and spend some Christmas money). After the obligitory mall stop for new (badly needed) clothes, we went to Jo-Ann’s. They had all their yarn on sale. I got 7 skeins of yarn for gnomes and such (ornaments and other small stuff). They had all their yarn on sale. I got three skeins of Vanna’s Choice (Dusty blue, black, and taupe mist), two skeins of Wool-Ease (Cranberry and Forest Green Heather), and a skein of Patons (white) (Ravelry links). When I got home, I had my Christmas gift to myself in the mail!
Mountain Colors Winter Lace yarn in Wild Horse! Yes, lace yarn. I decided that I wanted a shawl. I am going to be making the Forest Canopy Shawl (Ravelry link) with this yarn. I am so excited. I want to have it done in time to wear it to Wicked in April. DH is buying me tickets for my birthday! This yarn is a wool silk blend. It is so soft. The colors are so pretty too. I can’t wait! It is going to be lovely. I had to pick up a couple of circs in size 4 and 5 for this shawl (not sure what size needle I am going to use…I will swatch some with each and see tonight).
